I orderd 2 from the TV fat program a while ago.
Never turned up, been about a month now.

I hope this one does.

Slight contratdiction

"Garry says: "encourage friends and family to join in, they can also order a free Walk-o-Meter"

"this offer is limited to one per household"

surely its the children who need to be encourgaed - it too late for some of us - so limit it to 2.54 per household

Just got a package from Walkers in the post with my free walk-o-meter. Wife has grabbed it to see how far she walks.

They're supposed to rattle, that little rattly thing is what counts your steps, your footfalls make it bob back and forth and work the microswitches.

Ours arrived this morning - and I'd forgotten to tell Mrs T I'd ordered it. She was on the phone asking if I'd ordered something from Walkers. Jr T was extremely excited apparently, standing by the front door shouting, "Kibbits! kibbits!" (his word for crisps), "kibbits through the letterbox!"

He's going to be very disappointed when he sees there's no food in the package. How chilling that a two-year-old already recognises the corporate logo of Walkers and associates it with tasty junk food. :erm:

lol don't know, I've not seen it yet - it was only because Mrs T phoned to ask if I'd ordered something that I know it's waiting for me. She decided not to open the pack as we thought it might not be an ideal toy for the boy to get his wee hands on.

Is there a reset button on it?

I wonder how long they are going to last as there's no off button.

Got mine today too.
Seems not too bad for a freebie.
However if you knock it you add a few metres on.
